This Thursday we have a special menu introduced by our special guest Chef;

The Spanish Chef German Rodrigo was born in Navarra (Spain) on the 7th of July. If you know about the traditional festival of Spain, you will know this is the day of a big party in San Fermin in the north of Spain. Thousands of people meet for a week long celebration in the streets of Pamplona (a city of Navarra). But this place is not only famous for this festival. We know so well this is a place in Spain where you can eat delicious food and drink great wines, like the famous rose wines of Navarra.

German grew up in a family who owns and operates a restaurant. His grandfather and father taught him the skills of cooking and the taste of good food. His grandmother and mother taught him how to treat and care for the customers. He spent his childhood in the kitchen, watching and helping his family work in the restaurant. These experiences made him understand what are the details necessary to create excellent dishes. This is why he knows so well the best food is cooked from the heart.
He is a friendly person and enjoys meeting his family and friends around a table with good wines and good food. German feels this is the best language to open the doors to the heart of every person.

German came to Taiwan with his Taiwanese wife in 2011, and decided to stay in Tainan. We were lucky to meet him this year at the "Expo Food Taipei 2012" where he was introducing wines and olive oils from his import company. After we tried them, we decided to add his products to our menu. We cook many of our dishes and tapas with the extra virgin olive oil " La Maja". It really gives great taste and aroma, making the flavors of our dishes richer. Also, this week we will have the wines and liquors he chose personally to import to Taiwan, like "Ochoa", a high quality wine recognized in many countries of the world.

For this Thursday, German R. will prepare a Special Menu where everyone can try the wines and the oils famous from the typical gastronomy of Navarra, as well as some favorite dishes of the Chef.

Don’t miss the chance to enjoy his delicious cooking and his friendly company!
